ShibaFest Muskegon

The Inaugural ShibaFest

A culmination of Tree Preservation, Music, and Blockchain Technology

Where Music Meets Tree Preservation

Dozens of artists from around the world have joined us to play music with the trees, plant an endangered sequoia before they leave, and name it. We take cuttings from these trees and add them to our nursery, hoping to one day offer legacy trees for festivalgoers, investors, and the community to select their favorite musician’s tree and add it to their personal collection.
